Chapter Awards STEM Scholarships to 150 Recipients

The chapter hosted the annual Educational Scholarship Awards in June. During the event, the chapter recognized and awarded over 150 scholarship recipients local to the Virginia/Washington, D.C. metro area. The awards included STEAM scholarships as well as the Kevin Carroll Scholarship for Excellence. Over $145,000 in scholarships were awarded on this day to local high school seniors and undergraduate students.

Most notably, the esteemed Kevin Carroll Scholarship for Excellence was awarded to Melina K. Chapula Gutierrez. Kevin Carroll was a dedicated public servant, exceptional leader, mentor and role model to many throughout his career. He was dedicated to his family, friends, colleagues and especially the American warfighter. The chapter is proud to be able to honor Carroll's memory and congratulate Chapula Gutierrez who is an active member of the Air Force and pursuing her degree at Cornell University.

A jovial event with members from government and industry came together to congratulate all the chapter's scholarship recipients. Chapter President Jim Evans and Regional Vice President Alvie Johnson spoke. Bill Hepworth, deputy program executive officer, also presented.

Congratulations to all scholarship recipients!
